The bills are due again for Greg "GP" Patterson...but this time they won't get paid. He and his Latina wife face robbery charges when a simple assault goes bad. Their quarrelsome children are sent away to a group home—the one where GP was abused as a child. After a few days in jail, the Pattersons lose everything.

Aunty Jewels is a hardcore, hustling lesbian who enjoys to administer pain. Once she bails the Pattersons out, GP must make some serious moves if he is to provide decent shelter for his family again. A visit to Squeeze, who is a villainous loan shark, will lead to killer interest rates and a murderous default penalty. When GP gives Jewels the loan money to flip in a high-stakes credit card scheme, she gets robbed for it all. GP has to figure out how to pay his debt and gain the respect of his family again; Jewels has already figured out how to make everybody pay.

Alas! Oasis is like a breath of fresh air to the literary industry, debuting with an entertaining and heartfelt family drama.

A multicultural-suspense novel, vibrant and rich in characters. A plot so intense it literally leaves wounds on the heart. A stunning debut.

Push Comes To Shove has to be one of the best books I've read in a very long time! Its real life issues, believable characters, and its twist and turns, have you laughing, crying, and shaking your head. Oasis is a talented author who is destined for great things in the literary world. This book is going to put him where he needs to be—at the top.
—Keila Miller, Grown Folks Café

In his newest novel, Push Comes To Shove, Oasis brings the drama right to his readers' face. His writing style is razor sharp, and the story line will cause your heart to skip a beat. I tremendously enjoyed this novel, and I look forward to more heart-throbbing stories in the future.
—Brenda Hampton, Essence bestselling author of Naughty by Nature.

An engrossing story. Push is a mixed bag of life situations and hard knocks that will keep you turning the pages—never a dull moment. Push Comes To Shove is destined for best-seller status.
—Natalie Darden, author of All About Me.

A positively compelling story that grabs you from the first paragraph and keeps you enthralled until the very end. A novel that [provokes] so many emotions: fear, anger, empathy, laughter, and tears. Push Comes To Shove is a tear jerker, but the end is oh so sweet.
—Tina Brooks McKinney, author of All That Drama

Push Comes To Shove: Smart, well-paced, and vividly entertaining.
—OOSA Online Book Club
